    UPS for Secure, Connected Backup Power in Harsh Environments

    11/16/2020

    Power management company Eaton announced a step forward for industrial backup power with the North American launch of the Ferrups FX uninterruptible power supply (“UPS”). Building upon decades of proven performance of the Eaton FERRUPS UPS, this new solution brings intelligent capabilities and cybersecurity to industrial applications ranging from manufacturing facilities to agricultural plants to global military installations. The Ferrups FX UPS is the ideal solution for harsh power environments in industries where downtime can have a significant impact on safety, production and revenue.

    The Ferrups FX UPS integrates intelligent power management to help protect critical infrastructure in the event of unplanned power events. Now, for the first time, users in these environments can leverage the connected capabilities of the Eaton Gigabit Network Card or Industrial Gateway Card, the first UPS network cards to achieve dual cybersecurity certifications from industry organizations UL and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

    Ferrups FX UPS users can integrate Eaton’s recently redesigned PredictPulse remote monitoring service to gain insights into potential issues and mitigate potential power interruptions before they happen.

    The first model of Eaton’s Ferrups FX UPS, the FX3100, is now available in North America and represents the first of six models set to release in the family of Ferrups FX UPS offerings.
